The Sewol sank at 45m water depth and the
water was very turbid. It was dangerous for human divers to search the
seafloor. I thought we could inspect the hull of sunken ferry and debris around
her using Crabster’s acoustic instrument. And the information would be helpful
for the planning of rescue and searching activity. When we reached the ferry
site with Crabster system, the divers were going into the sunken ferry
continuously for rescue. The highest priority was on the rescue activity by
divers and all other team was restricted to approach to the rescue barge. Since
Crabster is not able to go into sunken ferry, we also had to wait for
approaching permission keeping apart from the rescue barge.
